Welcome/Welcome back friends,

It’s another edition of “What’s in my Bag?” And we are focusing on my every day purse. The past couple WIMB posts have been for vacations and trips but this one is dedicated to my every day bag that I grab and go. Occasionally, I change out the bag and carry it around for months or so and this is my current every day bag. It’s a leather quilted Vera Bradley handbag and it’s one of my favorites I own. So, let’s get to it:

Go-To Tuesday

I’m very excited to share with you all my go-to face wash today. Tarte’s Rainforest of the Sea Cleansing Gel has been my favorite face wash for the last 6 months. Since I’ve been using it, none of the others I’ve tried have compared. I’ve tried others while using this (usually samples I’ve received) and I always find myself reaching for Tarte’s again. The Cleansing Gel comes in a bottle that you pump the product out of. This makes using it very easy and saves you from using too much of the product at once. Usually one pump will be perfect for a full face wash. I have had this current bottle since April and I have only used about half of it. This product retails for $25 but is so forth the price. A lot of times, if you purchase it on Tarte’s website, you can find a discount code online. If you click this link below, it will take you to a link that will give you a 15% off coupon once you enter your email address.

Go-To Tuesday

It’s finally the time for me to share my go-to soda pop! (Some people call it soda, I call it pop, so I compromised for you all and just called it Soda Pop 😋) I feel like most people have tried Diet Coke and/or Diet Pepsi and I drink both. Why do I chose Diet Coke over Pepsi though? Well I’ll tell you. To me, Diet Pepsi has a sweet taste to it and has a flavoring that is similar to the regular pop. If that’s your desired taste, then that may be the drink for you. As for me, I prefer the Diet pop taste to my drink. When it comes to Diet Coke though, the best tasting is always a fountain Diet Coke drink, especially from McDonald’s. I can’t tell you what makes it so good but it’s better than regular bottled Diet Coke. So if you’re looking for a refreshing Diet pop, try out Diet Coke fountain drink to quench your summertime needs.

Row 1: I love the look of these four tops featured on the top row. They are sweet, playful, and perfect for summertime.

Row 2: The next row I dedicated to all black tops. I thought these were all sexy and fun tops that would be perfect for nights out, date nights, and more!

Row 3: I featured three pairs of shorts, two dressy and one comfy. I ADORE the red shorts and probably want those the most out of everything. I also linked the USA tee because I thought that would be a super cute option for the 4th of July!

Row 4: The last row is dresses and a bodysuit. I’m obsessed with the chambray dress and think it would look so cute paired with hat and heeled sandals.

Express (35% off $125+)

Link to LIKEtoKNOW.it post where these products are linked: http://liketk.it/2CJTM

Row 1: Above, I have featured some of my favorite accessories from their website. I love the necklace and earrings to be paired together and to be worn with the yellow jumpsuit on the bottom row. Can you say fabulous!?

Row 2: Crop tops, sandals, and bodysuits- oh my! Haha JK, but how can you not love those three things for summertime? Not possible!

Row 3: I lined up these adorable tops together because I loved how bold and beautiful they are. If you’re looking to stand out this summer, check out this row on tops!

Row 4: First picture on the 4th row is a romper and I’m obsessed with it! I love the colors and how vibrant it is. Second, is the yellow jumpsuit I mentioned earlier. Definitely an outfit that’s here to make a statement! Third, is this gorgeous vibrant blue body con dress with a slit. I thought this was perfect for a wedding or special event. Last, is the white crop top. Simple and stunning are two words I would use to describe it. I can already think of so many ways you can wear this top and it never look the same. That’s a winning top for me! 🙌🏼

Urban Outfitters (20% off $100 or more)

Link to LIKEtoKNOW.it post where these products are linked: https://ltk.app.link/y8YUubkAIX

Row 1: This row is dedicated to beauty products that I’ve had my eye on for a while now. The Beauty Blender is supposed to be amazing and I’ve always wanted to try it. The Dewy Spray from Anastasia Beverly Hills is another one I’ve been dying to get my hands on. But who am I kidding? I want all the beauty products! 😂

Row 2: Need I say anything about this hat and purse? They’re both so cute and staples needed in anybody’s wardrobe! As for the Calvin Klein undies and bra, I think these are perfect for lounging around in. Who can hate on that?

Row 3: My eyes always immediately go to that gorgeous teal romper. This is definitely a gorgeous piece to own for your summer wardrobe. I also loved this scarf. I thought it would look so cute wrapped about the head on that hot pool days.

Row 4: The final row includes that adorable leopard kimono which is perfect for a beach/pool day. These graphic tees are EVERYTHING though! I’m obsessed with the Mickey Mouse one and think it would be so cute for a trip to WDW. Right?

Also- FUN FACT: Urban Outfitters offers Afterpay! Any orders that are more than $35 can be used with the Afterpay system where you can pay your full total with 4 payments scheduled every 2 weeks. You get your product(s) right away and won’t be charged more unless you miss your payment plans (which is quite hard to do). Definitely a great choice with the LTK Day sale!

and that’s it, Friends! I hope you all enjoyed my wish lists and I hope you have the best shopping experience on the first LTK Day!

Go-To Tuesday

Welcome back friends! I’ve been on vacation for the past week and I’ve got my go-to seasonal beer to share with you all today. It’s the IC Light Mango Seasonal Beer! This is my absolute favorite when summertime hits and the heat back in session. If you’re a beer fan and love having hints of fruit in the mix then this is the beer for you! I also like to think this is a great way to try out beer if that’s not your favorite choice of alcohol. It’s light enough that it’s not super “wheat”y but definitely gives you a beer feel. This is the type of drink that hits the spot on those shouldering hot summer days and nights though. It’s a great choice for those days on the beach, pool/holiday/birthday parties, and more. If you’ve never had this and are local to the Pittsburgh area, visiting, or even just come across it at a craft beer place, definitely check it out!

Who else is a Popsocket junkie!? I have to say that when they first came out, I thought they were stupid. Not as stupid as the selfie stick but pretty stupid. But once I received one for Christmas, I figured I’d give it a try. Well let me tell you, I’ve been hooked ever since! Having a Popsocket has made my texting, selfies, car mounting, and more a million times easier. Which is why I had to get on here and share with you all my Go-To Popsocket! My absolute favorite Popsocket I have owned is from the original Popsocket brand and it’s called “Sparkle Snow White”. It has an iridescent Glitter on it and makes for a perfect accessory to my holographic phone case from Milkyway. My only complaint about it is that they Glitter does fall off eventually. Regardless, this brand has a ton of super cute options and you can find a good amount of them on Amazon with prime. I linked the photo above to the specific Sparkle Snow White Popsocket on the official site. If you drop your phone a lot or your hand gets tired frequently from holding you phone, especially if it’s a Plus, check out getting a Popsocket. You won’t regret it!

Go-To Tuesday

Wow friends, I can’t believe I almost forgot to post a Go-To Tuesday! This whole holiday weekend has had me thrown off and I thought that today was Monday until a half hour ago (haha). But that’s okay because I’m here and ready to show you my go-to tight hold hairspray! Bed Head Masterpiece Shine Hairspray has been my recent find and favorite. I was given a travel sized version for Christmas this past year and immoderately became obsessed with the way it made my hair smell and feel. The scent is so delicious that I kept sniffing around thinking that whatever that scent was I wanted to eat it. I ended up figuring out it was my hair and I sniffed it for the rest of the night. My boyfriend also commented on how well it smelled and I knew that this was gonna be my new go-to. Not only is the scent amazing but the hold it gives my hair is amazing. I rarely need touch ups after I finish using this product. My only complaint is that it is a little pricy for hairspray at some stores BUT I’ve bought this at Marshall’s for $10 and have seen it at other stores similarly priced. Definitely explore all your options for prices before purchasing the one I have linked to the photo above (from Ulta: $23). Let me know if you’ve tried this hairspray and what you think in the comments below!

Welcome back friends or if you’re new, welcome! Today, I’ve decided to share with you all my skincare routine. Since there are multiple times you take care of your skin during the day, I decided to break it down in different blogs. This edition will be focused directly to my night time routine. I do not have perfect skin by any means (especially during my time of the month) so you will definitely see some blemishes in my video. But no one is perfect and I’m working on a better version of myself every day. So join me on achieving better skin for ourselves! I’ve been lucky enough to find products that I’ve been loving recently and it’s been making me want to commit to my skincare routine more frequently. I’m so excited to share with you some of these products because they make my skin feel so amazing afterwards. So, let’s get to it!

Video:

Product Breakdown:

(Photos are the links to the products)

Step 1- Grab a headband, whether it’s a terry cloth spa headband or just a casual plastic one. This is totally optional but I do it because I hate having wet hair around my face.

Step 2- *if wearing makeup* Grab your makeup wipe and wipe off all excess. Don’t scrub at the places that don’t wipe off easily, we’ll handle those places in our next step.

Step 3- Grab your Micellar Cleansing Water and pour some into your cotton pad. Then wipe excess makeup residue and those harder to get makeup areas (mascara/eyes, long lasting lipstick, etc) off. If you’re not wearing makeup, this cleansing water clears the face of all impurities before washing it. I’m going to link the one I used in the video to the photo above and the other option here. I’m also going to link another one that can be found at Walmart, Walgreens, Target, etc. They both do the same thing and I like either one.

Step 4- I grabbed my rubber face scrubber (I’ll link here) and applied the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Deep Dive Face Cleanser. Once I’ve finished, I rinse my face off and pat dry.
Step 5- Then I grab my Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Drink of H2O Hydrating boost. I dab a penny size of product onto my finger and distribute it over my entire face. Make sure that you use your fingertips to gently blend the product into your skin.

Step 6- I finish off my night time routine with this new product I’ve started using recently. It’s the Kate Somerville EradiKate Acne Treatment which helps with pop up blemishes. I’m curious to see how well it works and will definitely let you all know my results with it in the future.

And it’s that simple. This whole routine takes about 10 minutes max! Stay tuned for my morning skincare routine and my favorite masks and more coming up soon in future blog posts. Let me know what you’d like to see if the comments below. Until next time,

Go-To Tuesday

Another day, another Tuesday and we are here to take a look at my go-to umbrella! You may be thinking, who has a go-to umbrella? Well I sure do! When it comes to summertime and the unpredictable weather, I always have an umbrella in tow. Not just any umbrella though, I carry with me a Vera Bradley Umbrella. Now, this $40 umbrella may seem ridiculously priced to you, and trust me it is to me too. BUT you can find these on sale and at the Vera outlets for as low as $12. What is so great about this umbrella? Well, for starters, I’ve had my first Vera umbrella for 7 years and it is STILL in great condition. I’ve used it countless summers traveling to Disney World, amusements Parks, beaches, and more. I just recently purchased a new one because I loved the design and thought it would be a good idea to get a backup just in case. That’s how much I love this umbrella. I have a backup to make sure I don’t go without it. This umbrella has a button that allows the umbrella to pop open, a snap that holds it closed together when not using, and a slide on cover to store it compactly. If this is something you want to purchase but don’t want to spend the full $40 on, Vera Bradley offers a lot of coupons for people that sign up for their email chain. There’s also a nice birthday coupon they send out that could give you a great discount off. Whatever way you can get it, I highly suggest you do. If you want to stay dry and stylish this summer, then this is the umbrella for you!
